I was a definite Pokeshipper... But something about Iris really strikes me. She and Ash just seem to have a great love/hate just like he and Misty used to have. If I remember correctly she's also blushed a few times around Ash. It's going to be fun watching both Ash and Iris mature as this series goes on. When I first saw Iris' design I didn't like her too much, but watching her in the anime has made her my favorite female to date.

Of them all, I chose Pokeshipping...however! Now that I've been through so much in the series, I'm not so keen on Ash shippings in general. He is oblivious to the notion of romance, and it's just no fun to ship him because his canon reactions are far from what a shipper'd like to see. Fanfics of Ash ships aren't any fun to read either for the same reason.
The only shipping I like here is Pokeshipping because the fanart is still cute. But given the circumstances in canon, Ash is more into Pikachu than any of the girls. XD

Random friend requests do nothing. Let's actually talk first. >_<

I simply adore Pokeshipping. Though... Negai shipping is worming its way in as a close second. I love interaction between Ash & Iris, It reminds me a lot of Ash & Misty... If those two were ever to meet... I could see a decent rivalry between the two... whilst ash is perfectly oblivious, as always ;D

Spoiler:- There is stuff here... take a look mkay ;D:

Pokeshipping was going to get most votes because the majority of the users here are oldschool type fans who saw the OS first hand, so nostalgia memories are imprinted on them. Even so, Pearlshipping is holding steady considering it doesnt have the nostalgia factor and its not on the current series.

Pokeshipping is the real and the best. Anyone who Pearlships usually never has watched seasons 1-5. As far as advancedshippers you know good and well it was all about May and Drew through the entire series. He was always gifting her with roses. She almost confessed feelings for him and him for her. He was always trying to save her and she always blushed later on in there relationship when there was interaction. Drew and May are going to marry...seriously.

Back to Pearl -I really really love Dawn but I feel like Dawn and Ash are friends. Ash actually showed reciprocal feelings for Misty especially at the end of the Johto league. He was brokenhearted when they split as oppose to when he left Dawn in twinleaf town and was like ok on to the next. My second place ship and I never thought there would ever be one is Negaishipping. I agree that in some ways Iris is reminiscent of Misty just a little though. Misty was a firecracker true to her red hair. She was a fierce competitor and very outspoken...Iris not so much. However I'm all over this Negaiship. I really like it. It can't replace my Pokeship but I welcome it as a distant 2nd.

I like how many Negaishippers we have here, tons and we are still just in the beginingXD

No one wants to belong to a dead community. Ever since Dawn left, the Pearlshipping forums have been practically dead and those people have been appearing in the Negaishipping thread. Not saying that they only like the ship because it's currently airing, but that's what I'm seeing.
And since Pokeshipping is the most popular apparently, older fans would probably be more likely support and follow it compared to Pearl/Advance due to its similarities.

Honestly, I ship Ash with practically everyone, my favourites being Palletshipping, Comashipping, Imaginationshipping, Collideshipping, and Dopplegangershipping. Though, if I had to choose from the poll choices, I'd say Pearlshipping. I find their friendship sweet and very endearing. ♥

I love Advance b/c of their chemistry and Negai cause it's active and already has many cute hints.
Pokeshipping is heavily one-sided and Pearl is nothing more than a sibling relationship for me. But that's just me

I have to say, pokeshipping (although most hints are from misty, yes) does have quite a few ash hints and those are quite strong (e.x. he blushed, same reaction as misty, when TR said that him and misty were ditching brock and eloping, he got jealous whenever misty was romantically interested in another male and vice versa, etc.) Pearl, i have to say i do like the supporting each other but i see them as friends, not even siblings, just friends.

I chose PokéShipping. I just like the chemistry between Ash and Misty the most. I'm pretty neutral to Advance and Pearl. As for NegaiShipping, even though it's still kind of early for me to say much for that ship, I'm neutral towards it, as well, but Iris seems to have the most similar chemistry with Ash that Misty had with him.

"It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. Yeah, sometimes you gotta lose 'til you win.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. It'll be all right again."

I say Advancedshipping because May is my favorite female character in my favorite Pokemon region, and Ash and May've been through a lot together, but the relationship that would turn the most out well would be Pokeshipping.

Why?

Simply because Ash has been with Misty the longest (through two regions), so he'd probably develop the most bondage with her. Plus, she was, like, the first Trainer he met (not counting Gary), in the first episode of his adventure.

My personal prefference is Advanceshipping as I find that they had a nice dynamic and their personalities seemed to compliment each other, Contestshipping isn't a problem as I didn't like Drew's attitude.

In terms of Misty, I'm more of an Orangeshipper as all they were showing on TV for a while was the Orange Islands Season and it sort of grew on me.

As for Dawn I never saw much, the most I saw was Conway stalking her but I haven't seen the end of DP as I lost interest just before Snowpoint City so I wouldn't know anything after that.

I can't have much of an oppinion on Iris as I haven't seen any of the B & W Season.

This is just my oppinion, along with what I think of Drew, which is nothing good.
